Imagine a creature with the head of a dragon, the mane of a lion, the body of a stag and the tail of an ox. Add a solitary horn upon its forehead and the form of the ki-lin is complete. Sightings of this magical and dangerous beast are very rare and thus trophy hunters are said to pay a high price for the horn of the legendary beast.

Other information

Ki-lin are rare and can only be summoned under certain conditions. One known condition is monastic liches summoning them "under duress." They can also be summoned by Sheruvian monks. Although the horns are not exceptionally valuable at furriers, they are highly sought after by players. Ki-lin are extraplanar beings.

Behind The Scenes

Ki-lin were malevolent creatures of sea and ice in Rolemaster, who would pretend to be unicorns to defile virgins. They were actually given the description of Ki-rin, benevolent aerial creatures, who would reside high up in the air and rarely come down to earth. This may have been intentional. Ki-lin proper resembled greyhounds with a stag's head, and would refuse to obey other dark powers. It is not clear that either of them would have originally been considered extra-planar beings. Interestingly, harbingers were supposed to ride black unicorns.
